Thx Intention. I'm totally fine! Hope you are too.

Any updates KJacobs?

Hey Intention & Cdnjenjen, nope I was out :( Period came that night. I think I'm probably on my last day of having my period today. My DB was really bummed out. Its our first month trying to conceive so he it thinks its supposed to happen right away :( I started temping this month though, which is kinda fun, and started taking Vitex, and ill get back to my ovulation kits. Praying its our month this time!

Aw man! Sorry to hear that Kjacobs49. Are we all in for this cycle? I'm probably older than you guys (i'm 37 y/o) so my doctor started me on Femara this cycle, since I don't have much time to waste. I'm going in on Monday morning for the doc to check my follicles then I'll probably do the IUI the next day.

Got a positive on my OPK yesterday and did my IUI today! So I'm back in the TWW...

Yep were all in! How exciting Intention! You've officially started your TWW, I am so stoked for you. I praying all my baby dust to you!
Im CD12 today and started my OPKs 2 days ago. Im gonna take an ovulation test in a few minutes actually for today. Lets hope its our month. Im 25 years old by the way :)

Well I'm 5dpo...seems like its been several weeks! lol. Good thing is I haven't been obsessing over symptoms but my, oh my, how the time seems to draaaaggg. How are you ladies doing?

Hey! 5dpo! Yay!! I'm doing good :) I ovulated yesterday around 12pm at work hahah and I'm a huge 1dpo today. OPK kits are a great tool to know when ill be ovulating but I get horrible ovulation pains for 5-6 hours when it actually happens! Do you guys feel your ovulation happening too?

I think I've maybe felt ovulation occur once or twice but I don't get those ovulation pains consistently and they're not very distinctive either. Unless, I just don't know what its supposed to feel like! LOL.

But like you, I hear/read about some many women that do have very distinct ovulation pains. That's a huge plus because its a really good indicator of whether you're timing your BD (or IUI) correctly.

It is a good indication but it sucks haha. I love the pains cause I love to have physical proof I'm ovulating but during it I'm smiling like, >:D fuck this hurts so bad but I'm so happy I'm ovulating OWWW. Hahahahah. Any symptoms at all? 1dpo+ i always feel 100% fine except for some gas. But this time my pains haven't gone away. 2dpo my lower back is still killing me, and I have cramps with sharp pains near my ovary. I hope this is a good sign cause I've never experienced this before.

Hahaha! I can only imagine how conflicting that feels!

I've had some very light (almost undetectable) cramping on and off today but that's about it. Last cycle I had stronger cramping on day 6 that I was convinced was implantation cramps. But apparently it wasn't. So maybe less cramping is a good sign??? Who knows! We'll see...I'm going to test on Friday or maybe Saturday depending on how I feel.
